have you ever had to come out as a diabetic? ever had an endocrinologist get awkward when you mention you're queer? this group is for diabetics who also identify as lesbian, bisexual, gay, trans, queer, and/or questioning.

I'm Delaney. I'm 15 and I got diagnosed about 8 months ago. My uncle has type one diabetes and my moms a docter but no one noticed my symptoms for a long time. I got to the bathroom alot any way and I was just sick so every one thought everything was from that. I am coming out of the honey moon period which has been hard. But I am getting a pump soon and that should make things easier. I haven't been on this site in a while, as I have been sort of ignoring my diabetes, since I've been dealing with other stuff. So I'm going to give it another try. (Both the site and taking care of myself!)

- Hi Delaney,
I meandered over to your site, and wanted to say hi, and good luck! I love your picture! Where did you get to pet a deer!?
I have had T1 for over 7 years now, also diagnosed in March (I was only 23). Had classic thirst/weight loss symptoms, and ketoacidosis!
I am glad you found this site, I wish I had known about it earlier, but I have been a member for a few months now.
Welcome!
